Porchlight, Inc. is a dedicated non-profit organization based in Madison, WI, committed to addressing homelessness and housing insecurity within the community. We provide a vital safety net and pathways to stability for individuals and families in need, offering a comprehensive range of support services designed to foster independence and well-being.

We also offer robust employment services, including the innovative Porchlight Products program, alongside recovery support and access to affordable transitional and permanent housing solutions.

A cornerstone of our employment efforts is Porchlight Products, a paid training program that empowers disabled and formerly homeless individuals.

This program not only provides meaningful employment and a sense of accomplishment but also generates revenue that directly supports Porchlight’s broader mission, reinforcing a cycle of self-sufficiency and community impact.
